Time 1h50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 -6 lbs lean pork loin, preferably center cut
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum
2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 medium bay leaf, crumbled
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup light rum
2 teaspoons arrowroot (dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water)
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F With a sharp knife, lightly score the pork loin by making diagonal cuts 1/4 inch deep at 1-inch intervals on the fat side. Place the pork scored side up in a shallow roasting pan just large enough to hold it comfortably.
  • If you prefer to use a meat thermometer, insert it into the loin after you have scored the fat side. Be sure the tip of the thermometer does not touch any fat or bone.
  • Roast the loin in the middle of the oven for 1 hour, or until the pork is golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the loin to a cutting board or platter. Skim the fat from the juices in the pan, pour in the stock, and set the pan and its liquid aside.
  • With a large mortar and pestle or in a small bowl with the back of a spoon, mash the brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of dark rum, garlic, ginger, cloves, bay leaf, salt and pepper to a smooth paste. With a metal spatula or your fingertips, spread the paste evenly over the scored side of the pork.
  • Return the loin to the pan scored side up and roast in the middle of the oven for another 30 minutes, or until the surface is crusty and brown. (The thermometer should reach a temperature of 160°F to 165°F.).
  • Transfer the loin to a heated platter and let it rest for 10 minutes for easier carving.
  • Meanwhile, slowly warm the light rum in a small skillet over low heat. Off the heat, ignite the rum with a match, then slide the skillet gently back and forth until the flames completely die out.
  • Bring the liquid remaining in the baking pan to a boil over high heat. Give the arrowroot-and-water mixture a quick stir to recombine it, and add it to the pan. Stirring constantly, cook briskly until the sauce thickens enough to coat the spoon heavily.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the flamed rum and the lime juice. Taste for seasoning and pour the sauce into a heated bowl or sauceboat.

3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 whole pork tenderloins (3/4 lbs. each)
Sauce
1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice
1/4 cup minced shallot
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled & minced
2 whole bay leaves, whole
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Misc.
2 packages fresh spinach leaves, to cover platter
2 whole Haas avocados, peeled, sliced
BlackBean, Heart of Palm, & Corn Salad
16 ounce can black beans, rinse & drain
2 ears yellow corn, cooked and cut off
1 can hearts of palm, cut into 1/4" rounds
2 whole large tomato, diced
1/2 whole red onion, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
Salad Dressing
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon ground coriander

Steps:

  • For pork dry rub: Combine the 5 ingredients and rub into pork tenderloins. For sauce: Combine first 6 ingredients in heavy small saucepan. season with pepper. Simmer until slightly syrupy, about 10-15 minutes. ( Can be prepared 1 day in advance. Cover and refrigerate.) For salad: Mix all ingredients in medium bowl. Toss with salad dressing to taste. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day in advance. Cover and refrigerate.) Line platter with spinach. Mound black bean salad in center. Slice pork. Alternate pork & avacado slices around the salad. Discard bay leaves from warm sauce & drizzle over pork and avacado.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: The best cuts for roasting are pork shoulder (also known as pork butt), pork loin, and pork tenderloin. Pork shoulder is the most flavorful cut, while pork loin is leaner and more tender. Pork tenderloin is the most tender cut, but it is also the most expensive.
  • Prepare the pork: Before roasting, season the pork with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. You can also rub the pork with olive oil or butter to help keep it moist. If you are using a pork shoulder, you may want to score the skin to help the fat render.
  • Roast the pork: The roasting time will vary depending on the size and cut of the pork. A good rule of thumb is to roast pork shoulder for about 2 hours per pound, pork loin for about 1 hour per pound, and pork tenderloin for about 30 minutes per pound. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork rest: After roasting, let the pork rest for about 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
  • Serve the pork: Pork roast can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also make a gravy from the pan drippings.

Conclusion:

Roast pork is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
